How to Save on Veterinary Costs at PETSURG
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

First off huge THANK YOU to the amazing medial team at PETSURG!!! From our first call, to walking out the door at the end of our visit, we were treated with the best care! I have an 8 year old Afghan Hound that had many symptoms and issues going on that had recently progressed. The team reviewed all her medical records prior to our arrival and even did an in depth consultation call to ensure I was comfortable with them taking over her care. The entire team was clear with their communication, kind, patient, and knowledgeable. Dr. Jones really listened and carefully took all things into consideration when creating a diagnostics plan. She took her time to explain everything to me and help me create a plan of action for my dog’s treatment! She answered all my questions and provided me with recommendations and resources to get a head start on my dogs condition. I had a wonderful experience at PETSURG and would highly recommend their veterinarian care! ***big plus - they do all their blood work/testing in house! We had all of our results from her full work up - including X-rays, urinalysis, and blood work - in one hour!!!

I didn’t know what was going on with my dog. I suspected it was something with his leg. I only knew I had to take him in immediately. I desperately called around to find a place with minimal wait. I’m glad I found Petsurg & ER4Pets. As soon as I walked in I was helped right away. X-rays and exams were done to find that Sparky swallowed an unidentified object. It was stuck in his stomach and hurting him. The staff was so kind and friendly. I was treated like a person, not a number. They also ensured to immediately send records to my regular vet. Records were emailed to them before I even called to inform them of what happened. I was impressed with the daily check ins and follow through. I absolutely recommend petsurg & er4pets to any fur baby parent, especially if you’re looking for great service, friendly staff, and board certified veterinary doctors. While it was a little bit of a drive for me it was definitely worth it.

We brought in our little girl Millie. She was lethargic and sleeping more than usual. Im not really a cat person but my husband had her before we got married and has had cats in the past. He checked her body out for signs and she bit him. That's when he knew. He said he was taking her to the vet ER now. They found a cyst on her bum and did surgery right away. Yeah it cost alot but they saved our girl. She even received a certificate of participation with her picture. Thank you Petsurg for saving Millie 😻.

I have a new Miniature Schnauzer whom is 5 months old. He showed signs of stimulate ingestion a few days ago and I had him rushed to their er. Because of their quick response they saved my puppies life. They were so helpful and informative I felt informed the entire time. The follow up care is my main reason for writing this review. I have received answers to every question I have had in a way I could understand and act on. 3 days later and they are still assisting me. I have already implemented changes in my dog's routine and diet. They sent all his paperwork, charts, invoice and labs via email for my records. The cost was reasonable, especially with insurance. If you don't have insurance, get it. If you think you can't afford it, you can't not afford it. If you are deciding which er to take your fury friend to, TAKE THEM HERE NOW. To their staff I am forever greatful, I will never forget what you did for my baby. Every staff member their is a compliment to their profession. I truly thank you. And keep an eye on your furball at all times. As you can tell by the pic, dog is resting comfortably. In my spot...

ER4PETS really saved us on New Year's day! Over the holidays, my dog had been having gastrointestinal problems, but on New Year's Day it got really bad. ER4PETS was the only location open, so without knowing who they were, we raced our pup over. They were quick, attentive, and kind to both me (the stressed out emotional dog mom) and my sweet pup Ollie. They had him healed up and puppin' around within 12 hours. They even gave him a "Certificate of Bravery" for his time spent at the hospital. I would obviously hope my dogs would never need to go to the ER hospital again, but if they do, I have peace of mind knowing exactly where I can take them. Thank you ER Pets!!
